United States · Listed company Archer Daniels Midland Company
ADM, the listed Archer Daniels Midland Company, combines sourcing and transport networks with large processing facilities. It turns agricultural raw materials into products such as oils, meals, starches, sweeteners and nutritional ingredients. Its operations also span human and animal nutrition and the bioeconomy. For crop producers, ADM is a good example of how industrial demand shapes the markets into which their harvest is sold.
Processing a single crop can create several product streams: oil for food manufacturers and meal for feed producers, for example. ADM builds its business around these connections and then develops more specialised ingredients and formulations on top of them. Its trading and processing activities organise the purchase, movement and industrial use of raw materials, while its Nutrition business focuses on ingredients and nutritional solutions for food and feed customers.
